Joomla 1.7 Alpha version released

Yes. Can you believe it. Joomla 1.7 Alpha and Beta versions are scheduled to come out all by the end of June. In July is when you can download Joomla 1.7. A month after that Joomla 1.6 will no longer be supported and next year Joomla 1.5 will “reach end of life”, which I assume means will no longer be supported.

The planned milestones are:

05 June – Joomla alpha 1 released for public testing 10 June – Feature freeze to prepare for beta release 13 June – Joomla beta 1 to be released for public testing 27 June – Joomla beta 2 to be released for public testing 4 July – Version 11.1 of the Joomla Platform to be released10 July – Joomla 1.7 GA released10 August – Joomla 1.6 reaches end of life and is no longer supported January 2012 – Next version of Joomla is releasedApril 2012 – Joomla 1.5 reaches end of life
